Here is another hipster.Since you seemed to like the last one,that was so colorful, maybe you will like this one too.The young woman that this one is for,is very tall,but slim.She wanted the straps longer,so it would fit around her hip.Trouble is,I didn't know HOW much longer,so one end of strap is pinned.Other than that, and putting my ribbon pulls,I am through with this one. #1 close-up #2 front, zip pocket and slip pocket,pinned strap #3 back with large,deep, zip pocket-Hope you like color-lol-Toogie

This bag is really stunning. I can't believe you did these without a pattern. Very talented and lovely job. :) Leaha

Are you saying you think I am lying?...Just joking,-lol-I know what you mean.We have a mutual friend(the woman I work with and me) that sewed.She never folded her patterns neat and put them back in the pattern envelope.They always looked so wadded up.Well if she lost a piece,say a facing for the neck or armhole,she didn't know how to make another facing pattern.Try as we did she would rather throw the whole pattern and buy another,than try to figure it out. Thanks for looking and to prove I make them,-lol-click on hipster.I think it will show the first one was blues, and it has more photos of constuction,if I remember right. Again,I was just teasing you.Thanks for looking.

That's okay, teasing is fun! I didn't take it any other way. As I've said many times before on this site...I am in total AWE of the talented ladies and gentleman on here! I am so glad I found this wonderful place called 'CUTE"

Did you make your own pattern for these , or did you find it somewhere?
Super work. ***

I made my own but I am still 'tweaking'it,as they say.I am thinking about one of her other styles,to try out.I'll have to go back and look,although for me,this style suits my needs.My daughter said she loves hers too.

Your choice of colors is stunning! They really make the bag stand out. One of my sisters wants me to make a bag like this for her, so I guess I'd better hunt through my stash and see what I can find for her. Congrats for such a stunning project. Vida

The fabric makes your bag even more stunning than the ones you did earlier! Gorgeous! What do you use to give them body?

1 comment
toogie by toogie 15 May 2014

I appreciate that you like it Mops.I think quilting the main body & front pocket, gives it body and the fact that isn't not too large, in size.I also put cut-a-way in my inside pocket and large back pocket, and because this one was softer than the others,I used cut-a-way in my 2 main body, lining pieces.I use the cut-a-way here,like you would sew in interfacing.Mine is holding the shape well and I have been using it since I made it.Thanks for commenting-Toogie

Aw......it's so nice to wake up, to all you sweet Cuties! I cut it out 1 day and start ironing,quilting,sewing.Then I finish the next time if things go well.I have been having Mason to pick up from baseball practice and just life in general,so some days I don't get any sewing done.I'm sure everyone can relate to that.

I like this one, too! The fabric reminds me of square-in-a-square quilt block. It's very bright and beautiful.

It was easy to quilt.I didn't have to mark my grid,just followed the squares.Takes me 2 days to make one,from cut-out to finish,in between my bus route,keeping the grands,etc.-lol

It does have lots of pockets.There is 1 slip pocket on the front as well as the 1 zippered pocket.There is also a deep back zippered pocket.that makes 3,so far.On the inside,the slip pocket is divided.I usually do 3 divisions,with the center one being smalller, for my readers (glasses).However my daughter wanted hers divided in two.She had a huge phone and she wanted it on the inside.I have an IPhone 4s and I put mine in the slip front pocket,along with my keys.
